Ben Affleck looks downcast as he’s seen for first time since Britney bombshell

Ben Affleck appeared to look rather downcast when he was seen for the first time since Britney Spears’ shock claims.

The 51-year-old actor was spotted with his 11-year-old son Sam after Britney recently disclosed a past kiss with the actor. Taking to Instagram, in a now-deleted post, the hitmaker penned: “Cool pic of me and Ben Affleck and Diane Warren years ago!!!”

She went on: “He’s such an amazing actor. Did I fail to mention I made out with Ben that night … I honestly forgot … damn that’s crazy !!!”

Britney teased more juicy details when she concluded the caption by writing: “Wish I could tell you guys the story that happened before that !!! Oh dear, I’m just being a gossip girl. Psss I actually forgot!”

Ben and his son were spotted in Los Angeles on Wednesday, just mere hours after Britney made the claims in the now-deleted post. Ben walked with his hands in his pockets as he looked down on the ground.

It is unknown when the Instagram snap was taken, although, in the photo, Ben sported a goatee that was identical to the one he had in 1999. This comes after Ben and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s 15-year-old child debuted a new buzzcut hairstyle on an outing with their mum before heading to school with pals. Looking edgy for their day ahead, Seraphina wore a grey-hued sweater with a green backpack.

As well as Seraphina, Jennifer and Ben share 18-year-old daughter, Violet, and their aforementioned 11-year-old son, Samuel. The high-profile acting-duo who were a power couple within the realms of Hollywood sadly separated in 2015, with their divorce following three years later.

Since splitting from ex-wife Jennifer, whom he shares three kids with, Ben rekindled his romance with Jennifer Lopez, with the pair even getting hitched. The couple rekindled their romance from the early noughties and went Instagram official on JLo’s 52nd birthday in 2021. They were engaged a second time by April 2022.
